Default Need Help Deciding coilover.

hey CL members, ive been reading up on all the threads about suspension but still cant decide on what suspension to get. My priorities are ride comfort, adjustability and price. Ive heard lots of CL members that have Tein CS or flex, but how is the ride quality i prefer it stock ride quality. I putting 20s and a lip kit all around so i dont need to be slammed on the floor. I drive this car everyday, and previous owning a slammed car, that does not work out too well with So Cal road. I was thinkin about the TRD coilover, they said its 30% stiffer but still maintain the lexus ride quality. Anyone have one of those? I like the flush looks. thanks for your inputs.

Tein CS, the best for GS for what you looking for.
It is on GB right now. GL.

I personally do not like TEIN but that's my personal opinion.

If you have the funds for a TRD Sportivo, you might want to look into Tom's Advox. Best coilovers I've ever owned. I'm on HKS Hipermax LS now and I have no complaints about them either.

Go with the FLEX. You are wasting your money on anything else. The Tein FLEX will ride just as smooth as the CS if you dial in the damping adjustment properly.
